This Post Is For Marilyn Kaye's New Series "Gifted". The First Two Books Are Scheduled To Be Released June 9, 2009.

The First Book Is "Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight"

Synopsis:

Queen of Mean Amanda Beeson, 13, gets the shock of her life when she wakes up one morning to find herself in the body of one of her victims, Tracey Devon. Amanda discovers that Tracey, ignored at home and school, has the ability to become invisible. When Amanda finds herself in a special class that Tracey usually attends, it becomes clear that at Meadowbrook Middle School the definition of “gifted” has a whole other meaning. Can Amanda rescue her one-time target from obscurity and get her own life back on track? In order to do so, she will have to reveal her own startling gift and take her rightful place among Meadowbrook’s very secret clique.

The Second Book Is "Better Late Than Never"

Synopsis:

Goth girl Jenna Kelley has the ultimate tool to stage a teenage rebellion: she can read people’s minds without even trying. When her alcoholic mother is hospitalized, a stranger shows up who says he’s her long-lost dad and promises a better future. Too good to be true? Her gifted classmates think so, but Jenna is so determined to have a real parent around and a somewhat normal life that she might have lost her ability to listen.

RagDollVampGirlI Personally Love The Covers!! They Are So Pretty. These Books Sound Very Different Than Anything I've Read Before. So, I'm Definately Looking Forward To These.

This Is My First Book Review So Please Don't Kill Me Or Eat Me Alive... So, I Wrote A Good Amount About One Of My Top Three Favorite Authors Marlene Perez!! So Naturally, I Chose Her Book "Dead Is The New Black" For My First Review..

Synopsis:

Teenage girls are being mysteriously attacked all over town, including at Nightshade High School, where Daisy Giordano is a junior. When Daisy discovers that a vampire may be the culprit, she can’t help but suspect head cheerleader Samantha Devereaux, who returned from summer break with a new “look.” Samantha appears a little . . . well, dead, and all the most popular kids at school are copying her style.

Is looking dead just another fashion trend for Samantha, or is there something more sinister going on? To find out, Daisy joins the cheerleading squad.

RagDollVampGirl's Review:

This Book Is Light And Quirky And An Awesome Read. When You're Reading This Book It's Easy To Imagine Yourself As Daisy Or Poppy (Main Characters) At Any Given Moment. The Fact That This Book Is More "Solving A Mystery" Than "Dark Romance" Is Really Interesting. This Book Grabs You In From The First Page And Won't Let Go Till The Very End. This Book Should Be Read By Everyone!! It Is Very Enjoyable..

Rating: 5/5

I Know My Review Is Not That Long, But It's Because I'm A Little New. I Don't Feel Comfortable Putting Spoilers In My Reviews So I Won't Be Talking About What Happened In The Books. Mainly Just How I Felt And If I Think You Guys Should Read It!!

I'm Writing About Marlene Perez Today. She Is One Of My Favorite Authors. She Wrote The Dead Is Series Which I Am Currently Re-Reading. I Was Recently On Her Twitter Page Where I Found This Exciting Statement.

"Celebrating the sale of two new DEAD IS books! DEAD IS JUST A RUMOR and DEAD IS NOT AN OPTION."

Awesome, Right??

So Just To Be Sure I Wrote To Her On Myspace Asking If This Was True... And She Wrote Me Back:

"I'm happy to say that yes, there will be two more DEAD IS books. DEAD IS JUST A RUMOR will be out in the fall of 2010 and DEAD IS NOT AN OPTION will be out in the spring of 2011."

AWESOME!!!

I Adore The The Dead Is Series And I Hope That You Do, Too.

Also, Coming In August Is Another Book Entitled The Comeback By Marlene Perez As Well... This Book Will Be Released August 1, 2009. (I Will Write About It In A Couple Of Weeks)

Okay Here Are Two More Books That Will Be Released Tommorrow... May 26, 2009..

First Up Is One Book That I Pre-Ordered A While Ago... "Vacations From Hell by Cassandra Clare, Libba Bray, Claudia Gray, Sarah Mlynowski, And Maureen Johnson"

Synopsis:

Life's a beach . . . and then you're undead?

In this must-have collection, five of today's hottest writers—Libba Bray (A Great and Terrible Beauty), Cassandra Clare (City of Bones), Claudia Gray (Evernight), Maureen Johnson (13 Little Blue Envelopes), and Sarah Mlynowski (Bras & Broomsticks)—tell supernatural tales of vacations gone awry. Lost luggage is only mildly unpleasant compared to bunking with a witch who holds a grudge. And a sunburn might be embarrassing and painful, but it doesn't last as long as a curse. Of course, even in the most hellish of situations, love can thrive. . . .

From light and funny to dark and creepy, these stories have something for everyone. You definitely won't want to leave this collection at home!

RagDollVampGirlThis Is The Third Novel In The "From Hell" Series.. I Can't Wait For This One!! I Loved Prom Nights From Hell And Love Is Hell So I Know I'm Going To Love This One...

It's been three months since everyone under the age of fifteen became trapped in the bubble known as the FAYZ. Things have only gotten worse. Food is running out, and each day more kids are developing supernatural abilities. Soon tension rises between those with powers and those without, and when an unspeakable tragedy occurs, chaos erupts. It's the normals against the mutants, and the battle promises to turn bloody.

But something more dangerous lurks. A sinister creature known as the Darkness has begun to call to the survivors in the FAYZ. It needs their powers to sustain its own. When the Darkness calls, someone will answer — with deadly results.

The Book Is "Once Dead Twice Shy by Kim Harrison" Scheduled To Be Released Tommorrow.. May 26, 2009...

Synopsis:

My name is Madison Avery, and I'm here to tell you that there's more out there than you can see, hear, or touch. Because I'm there. Seeing it. Touching it. Living it.

Madison's prom was killer—literally. For some reason she's been targeted by a dark reaper—yeah, that kind of reaper—intent on getting rid of her, body and soul. But before the reaper could finish the job, Madison was able to snag his strange, glowing amulet and get away.

Now she's stuck on Earth—dead but not gone. Somehow the amulet gives her the illusion of a body, allowing her to toe the line between life and death. She still doesn't know why the dark reaper is after her, but she's not about to just sit around and let fate take its course.

With a little ingenuity, some light-bending, and the help of a light reaper (one of the good guys! Maybe . . . ), her cute crush, and oh yeah, her guardian angel, Madison's ready to take control of her own destiny once and for all, before it takes control of her.

Well, if she believed in that stuff.

Synopsis:

Anything is possible. . . .

Finn has always felt out of place, but suddenly her world is unraveling. It started with The Party. And Adam Porter. And the night in September that changed everything. The only person who knows about that night is Audrey—Finn’s best friend, her witness to everything, and the one person Finn trusts implicitly. So when Finn’s childhood friend Jersy moves back to town—reckless, beautiful Jersy, all lips and eyes and hair so soft you’d want to dip your fingers into it if you weren’t careful—Finn gives her blessing for Audrey to date him. How could she possibly say no to Audrey? With Audrey gone for the summer, though, Finn finds herself spending more and more time with Jersy, and for the first time in her life, something feels right. But Finn can’t be the girl who does this to her best friend . . . can she?

Synopsis:

This spellbinding haunted-house story takes place within the confines of a grand London mansion, a place where shadowy characters are always coming and going, almost like ghosts. But when twelve-year-old Nettie’s beloved tutor disappears, the cloistered yet savvy girl must pull her head out of the sand and find out why. In her search, she makes a friend and turns detective, coming apart yet coming alive as she discovers deeply disturbing things about her father and how he funds her family’s extravagant lifestyle – through human trafficking.

Next Up Is "Slept Away by Julie Kraut" Also Scheduled To Be Released Tommorrow..

Synopsis:

What’s this city girl’s worst nightmare? Summer camp.

Laney Parker's a city girl through and through. For her, summertime means stepping out of her itchy gray school uniform and into a season of tanning at rooftop swimming pools, sidewalk dining in the Meatpacking District, and—as soon as the parents leave for the Hamptons—parties at her classmates’ apartments.

But this summer Laney’s mother has her own plan for Laney—Camp Timber Tops—and faster than a girl can pack her eye cream, she’s shipped off.

Now, splattered with tie-dye fallout, stripped of her cell, and going through Diet Coke withdrawals, Laney is barely hanging on. But when she realizes her summer crush is untouchably uncrushable in the real world, she has to start asking herself some serious questions. Can camp cool possibly translate to cool cool?

Sleepaway camp might just turn this city girl’s world upside down.

Synopsis:

She's looking good...but Allison Avery can't believe it. Growing up with beautiful, blond sisters, Allison has always been the dark-haired, "interesting-looking" Avery. So when the devil shows up and offers to make her gorgeous, Allison jumps at the chance to finally get noticed. But there's one tiny catch, and it's not her soul: The devil wants her cell phone.

Though her deal with the devil seems like a good idea at the time, Allison soon realizes that being gorgeous isn't as easy as it looks. Are her new friends and boyfriend for real, or do they just like her pretty face? Allison can't trust anyone anymore, and her possessed phone and her family's financial crisis aren't making things any easier. Plus when she finds out that she might be America's next teen model, all hell breaks loose. Allison may be losing control, but how far is she willing to go to stay gorgeous forever?

Following the critically acclaimed LUCKY, Rachel Vail continues her poignant sisterhood trilogy with the rebellious middle Avery sister, Allison. Fiery, sarcastic, and just plain fun, GORGEOUS captures the heartbreak and hilarity in one girl's attempt to have it all.

Next Up Is "Undercover by Beth Kephart" The Paperback Is Scheduled To Be Released Tommorrow...This Was A Debut Novel, Which Was Absolutely Astounding!!

Synopsis:Like a modern-day Cyrano de Bergerac, Elisa ghostwrites love notes for the boys in her school. But when Elisa falls for Theo Moses, things change fast. Theo asks for verses to court the lovely Lila—a girl known for her beauty, her popularity, and a cutting ability to remind Elisa that she has none of these. At home, Elisa's father, the one person she feels understands her, has left on an extended business trip. As the days grow shorter, Elisa worries that the increasingly urgent letters she sends her father won't bring him home. Like the undercover agent she feels she has become, Elisa retreats to a pond in the woods, where her talent for ice-skating gives her the confidence to come out from under cover and take center stage. But when Lila becomes jealous of Theo's friendship with Elisa, her revenge nearly destroys Elisa's ice-skating dreams and her plan to reunite her family.
